I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from St. Mary's University with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I have worked with children/ teens, and adults in multiple settings including inpatient and outpatient substance use and co-occurring disorder clinics, community counseling settings, and private practice. I draw from various evidenced based approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and other mindfulness based approaches. I believe in partnering with you to uncover strengths you may have forgotten, build skills you can rely on, and craft a story of healing that’s both meaningful and practical. My approach is focused on empowerment and authenticity- I blend evidence-based tools with authenticity and warmth, so you can feel both supported and empowered to make real progress. I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be — at your pace, in your way. I’m committed to honoring your story with empathy, respect, and care.
